プッチプニェントの絶景の山頂・トップ20

Not all mountains are created equal on Mallorca: While more pointed elevations are called puig (peak), flatter mountains or plateaus are called mola – which literally means "millstone." Exceptions prove the rule. The term "comuna" also reveals something about the town's history: The Mola de sa Comuna is the municipal mountain of Valldemossa, whose area was formerly used as public pastureland, hunting ground, and for timber production.

There are plenty of bivouac spots. A magnificent summit plateau with expansive views.

As Mallorca's southernmost 1,000-meter peak, the Puig de Galatzó (1,027 meters) marks the beginning of the Tramuntana range and offers fantastic views. There are several ways to reach the summit, depending on your fitness level and starting point. The final 200 meters require some surefootedness, but are rewarded with a spectacular panorama of the island. Because of its striking shape, it is also called the "Matterhorn of Mallorca."

Magnificent panoramic view of the surrounding mountains and the coast

From the summit of the Mola de Sa Comuna you can see as far as Palma on a clear day

Best place on the GR221 to see the black vultures up close. They are the largest bird of prey still found in Europe with a wingspan of up to 3 metres.

At the summit of the Mola de sa Comuna in the southwest of Mallorca you have a great view of the surrounding Tramuntana all the way to Palma. The path there is a bit steep and difficult, but doable. There are sources that say there was a fortress on the summit in the 13th century. There is also a map on the Parc Natural de la Serra de Tramuntana homepage showing the fortress... I didn't discover any of the remains.

Beautiful views and archaeological finds
